Love Life | Rob Lowe
12 posts | 22 read | 22 to read
On the heels of his New York Times bestselling Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Rob Lowe is back with an entertaining collection that invites readers into his world with easy charm and disarming frankness (Kirkus Reviews). After the incredible response to his acclaimed bestseller, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, Rob Lowe was convinced to mine his experiences for even more stories. The result is Love Life, a memoir about men and women, actors and producers, art and commerce, fathers and sons, movies and TV, addiction and recovery, sex and love. Among the adventures he describes in these pages are: His visit, as a young man, to Hugh Hefners Playboy Mansion, where the nave actor made a surprising discovery in the hot tub. The time, as a boy growing up in Malibu, he discovered a vibrator belonging to his best friends mother. What its like to be the star and producer of a flop TV show. How an actor prepares, for Californification, Parks and Recreation, and numerous other roles. His hilarious account of coaching a kids basketball team dominated by helicopter parents. How his great, great, great, great, great grandfather may have inspired everything from his love of The West Wing to his taste in classic American architecture. His first visit to college, with his son, who is going to receive the education his father never got. The time a major movie star stole his girlfriend. Linked by common themes and his philosophical perspective on loveand lifeLowes writing is loaded with showbiz anecdotes, self-deprecating tales, and has a general sweetness (New York Post).

At left, his first movie role in The Outsiders. Have not read his first book, but did enjoy this memoir which encompasses his acting career and family years. His life as a father is written well, especially the mixed emotions of having his first child leave the nest 💔

I ❤️ a good celebrity memoir. This is Lowe‘s second installment and he writes about his life episodically, in chapters that are personal essays. He tells about his private life as well as fun star-studded stories. He does give some insider information but is never malicious or gossipy (for goor or bad 😜). In this one, the story that had me just WRECKED was The Boy about dropping his eldest off at college.

Centique I heard the first one was excellent too, so I guess I need to stack them both 😊 6y
Elizabeth2 Added both! I love a good celebrity memoir, too. So glad you posted! 6y
JacqMac I really liked his first one. I‘ll have to add this to my library holds. 6y

These were the first two #alliterativetitles I could find on my bookshelves. This one is the sequel to Rob Lowe's first memoir. I haven't read Blood & Beauty, but I find the Borgias fascinating so I'm sure it's good. #MarchIntoReading

Rob Lowe is such a great storyteller and has lived such an incredible life. Love Life was an entertaining, amusing, poignant look into Rob's life.

bookishkai I'm assuming you've read Stories I Only Tell My Friends? I hope he writes more, because I just love his storytelling. 7y
BookNerd1975 Oh yes, bookishkris, I read that one and loved it as well! 7y
